Mike | Welcome Didier
Didier has joined us from France. Welcome, Didier......
Hello Mike,
I am french, 53 years old and private pilote since 1981. Unfortunately, I am not a Seawind owner but I am leaving in the city of Biscarrosse (south west of France), where there are great lakes with a lot of floatplane history : These lakes has been the departure of the "AEROPOSTALE" intercontinental lines with heroes like Jean Mermoz, Antoine de Saint Exupery, Henri Guillaumet, etc...
During WW2, it was a german floatplane base with a lot of Dorniers. Actually, we have a flying school with an amphibious Cessna 150 and several ultralights.
Since 1993, we have an international floatplane meeting every two years. It is a famous event and the european aviation world is present.
Personally, I am involved in floatplanes since 1985,having been the first pilot exploiting ultralights on floats for school, firsts flights, and aerial advertising.
Having an architecture background, I am Construction Manager, working for missions in remote countries : Africa, Arabia, océanic islands...
I plan to buy a Seawind within the next 2 years and I have a lot of questions to ask.
Thank you for your interest, hope to share questions and answers with you and the association asap.
Best regards
Didier
